We all knew it was coming but the timing is as cynical as it gets.

This is genius PR by Levy. He will have seen the backlash from the fans on ESL so sacks Mourinho early to get the fans back. I fcuking love Levy. #InLevyWeTrust

If this is true I at least respect him for that.

Timing is shit either its too early or too late. You'd have to assume we have someone lined up.

Mason and Powell as interim coaches until a replacement is found.

I love Mondays.

Great news, never wanted Jose in the first place but i wont be truly happy till Lewis sells up and Levy is gone. so many managers weve made to look bad and only one constant, Levy! So who next? Naglesmann? how long before Levy makes the next promising young manager look average? two seasons? three?.

 

[davidmatzdorf]

Never a dull moment. Does anyone haver a source for the suggestion that he refused to take players out to train because of the super league proposal? I can't find it anywhere else. Or is it just someone here starting an irresponsible rumour?

Waited 17 months for this day and Spurs have managed to take it away from us by chucking it out just after they killed us off by selling our club to the devil.
